He labours by the light of the Sun of Truth, casting the oblation, bright with the surface of the clarities, moving perfectly the dawns break forth inviolable for him who has said, “Let us press out the wine of immortality for the Puissant.” Interpretation: “He, who says thus: “May we press out the Delight of our being for Indra, the divine Mind!”, is expanding his being and action here by the light of the Sun, whose top is of the golden and heated clarity, for he offers all of himself to the bright and clear dawns of his consciousness which cannot be marred but breaks through all the obstacles!” The one who decided to offer the delight of his being to the transcendental and pure divine Mind, and not to the mind which grew up here in the evolutionary process of 2 Nature, not to the Buddhi, but to the beyond, to the Purusha and his consciousness, he indeed is doing the work here with the light of the Sun, sam bhānunā yatate sūryasya. For the light of the transcendental Consciousness is coming to him through Indra. It is a confirmation of that fact that the Intuitive Mind in its very substance is of the Supramental light, of the Sun, though it is in the intermediary zone of the Svar world, with its three rocanās.

He has kindled the Flame and he conquers, he has extended wide the seat of his sacrifice, he has set the pressing stone to its labour and has pressed out the wine and he adores. When his pressing stones cry aloud with the voice of their swift impulsion, then by his oblation the priest of pilgrim sacrifice travels to that ocean. Interpretation: “He is conquering [all], for his Agni is kindled, his vastness is expanded, and his pressing stones are yoked to work, and his Soma wine is pressed and distilled, and thus he adores [Him]! The pressing stones of whom sing the most powerful and swift impulsion, he goes deep into the Ocean with the help of that oblation, who is the pilgrim on the paths of the Sacrifice.” Vocabulary: iṣira, mfn. refreshing, fresh, flourishing, vigorous, active, quick RV.

He is a king and untroubled in whom the God-Mind drinks an intense Wine with the light for its companion; and he charges with his fighters and slays the powers that conceal and possesses the worlds for his habitation, full of felicity, increasing the Name.

He arrives with his armies and destroys the Obstructer, dwells on all the levels of existence, and growing great in his secret Meaning, full of Delight!” pu:ya/t! ]eme?

He increases in his secure having and he conquers in his getting, for him the human path and the divine meet in one and both are conquered. He becomes dear to the Lord of the Light, dear to the Lord of the Flame who presses out the Wine and gives it to the Puissant. Interpretation: “He is growing in his own world, and becomes united with all! He conquers both paths that are moving together: human and divine. Dear he grows to Surya in the light of the Sun, dear he grows in the flame of the Will, who offers himself to Indra, having pressed out the Soma wine for his enjoyment.”
